OUR COUNTRY,
Her Dangers and DestIny-An Abb
Discourse.

Her Dangers and Destiny-An Able
Discourse.
There was good sized audience at the
First NJ E. church last evening to hear q
national sermon by the pastor, Rev. Mr..
Chapman. The choir sang several excellent
selections. The subject of the sermon was:
'fOur country, her danger and destiny The
text was from Isaiah, the 32nd chapter and
the 18th verse; ttAnd the work
of righteousness shall be peace,
and the effect of righteousness
quietness and assurance forever,
The words were prophecy or promise to the
chosen people who were permitted such a
vast trust, who were educated in trials and
universities of the wilderness In this current
of providential purpose it seems as if
America is as providental as Palestine ever
was Here on this continent is theater of
final civilization, for the Christian conquest of
the world. There are TO more unknown
lands to find. A vast continent with its
vast river system and capacity to support
an unlimited population, was held in re-
serve, waiting for the fullness of time, wait
ing for the regeneration of the church, wait
ing for the civilization of the old world to
make people worthy to occupy it. We say
that Columbus discovered America, but we
might better say that God discovered it.
America has been given to us, prepared for
us by God. The population of America is
only thezskirmish line of the millions who
are to swarm over our plains. Our Ameri-
can and English civilization is advancing to
all quarters Of the world. An unseen power
has been silently guiding events; toward the
fulfllment of kingdom in which shall be
Righteousness and peace. The speaker graph
icalIy smoke of the power and exteut of Tho
two great Christian nations, England and
the United States, and how these two in COM
ing time could WELD an inyincible power for
God and liberty In one of the hours of a
great war and a great victory man said to
Abraham Lincoln that God ia surely with as.

said to he In the Interest of a Mining
syndicate.


WASHINGTON, July "a prominent corre-
spondent of the Sunday Mercury is respon-
sibIe for the following story: heard the
other day that Mr.. Blaine's visit to London
was not entirely one of recreation and rest,
but that he had been empowered to transact
little business. 1t appears, if my Informs
ton be correct, that Mr.. Blaine is largely
interested in mines and railways in West
Virginia, and that the owners of some of
these properties have entrusted it to him to
negotiate the sale of them if a suitable offer
can be obtained. What particular property
is to be placed on the market I, of course.
do not know, but the most important inter
est Mr.. Blaine has in West Virginia is in the
Just completed railroad connecting with the
Baltimore and Ohio, opening up an almost
untouched field of iron and coal. This road
has been constructed by few very wealthy
men, the leading spirit among them being
ex-senator Henry g. Davis. The report
gave no details and but for its coming from
a we'll informed source, one of the close
friends of the ex-Secretary of State and the
ex-senator of West Virginia, I should not
have given credence to it.

PIoKErT,s MEN AT GETTYSBURG.
Veterans of the War Tread the Battle
fields Once More.

GETTYSBURG, Pa, July 3.-This afternoon
the veterans, blue and grey, formed in pro-
cession and headed by band marched to
Bloody Angle and the old PHILADELPHIA
brigade was once more on the ground it de-
Tended twenty-four years ago. Marching
past the monument of the Seventy first to
that of the Sixty-ninth they halted and
marched back past the monuments again.
The stone fence is still standing which the
Philadelphia brigade made its heroic stand
and the two monuments of the Sixty-ninth
and Seventy-hrst are located within a few feet
of it. After two O'Clock the Sixty-ninth
marched to the stand erected for the purpose
and there the assemblage was called to order
by Colonel O'Brien, who. introduced
Adiutant A. W. McDermott, who
read a list of the killed and
MORALLY wounded of the Sixty-ninth
regiment. He then presented General
Joshua T. Owen, who delivered the Grafton.
In closing he called for three cheers for
Pickett's division and they were given. Colo
mel Reilly then presented the movement to
the care of the Battlefield association. 1t
was received in their name by Colonel j. B.
Bachelor. AS soon as Colonel Bachelor
had finished Colonel Reilly in the name of
the Sixty night regiment presented him with
handsome gold watch The colonel was
much surprised and in few words thanked
the regiment for its remembrance This
finished the ceremonies of the Sixty ninth.
The Seventy-first then took the platform.
General Burns was the orator. He spoke for
some time, but took out his paper and read.
When he finished General Badly Smith
was presented and spoke only lew
minutes It fell upon General
Wester to turn the monument over to the
Memorial association and he was SO much
affected by the sight of the small number of
the brigade that it took him some moments
to master his feelings, and during his speech
his voice would choke and he with difficulty
continued. The monument was accepted
in the name of the association by
Colonel J. NJ. Vanderslice, of Philadelphia.
Colonel R. Penn Smith then in very inter
estine speech turned over to the memorial
association the tablet Of Cushings battery,
which was also received by Colonel Wander
slice. The crowd then moved near the ia
nous clump of trees where the Cowan's bat
terry monument is erected. When. all was
ready Colonel Andrew Cowan presented Seri-
no K Payne as the Orator, who@spoke for
| twenty minutes. Colonel Cowan then trans
| ferred the monument to the association The
party then broke up and returned TO town.

WASHINGTON, July 3.-To-day's Herald
publishes the following: From the very
best information available there seems to be
no doubt that the Secretary of War did offer
the President his resignation last week. But
two persons knew the details of the circum-
stance the President and the Secretary of
War. Possibly third might be included,
Private Secretary Lamont. The President
did not then accept the resignation, but
rather than endure another period of be-
devilment when Congress meets Judge Endi-
colt will insist on going out. He said to a
prominent Bostonian, leading member of
the Massachusetts, delegation, at present not
unconnected with the dispute going on
which involves o valuable and much talked
of patent-that he would never have taken
the position of Secretary of War had he the
least conception of its vexations and annoy
ances. 81 knew nothing about military
matters" said the descendant of the old
Puritan governor with some bitterness, 'tand
I appear to have made nothing but mistakes,
the greatest of which was coming here.
Look at this flag business. When it was
mentioned to me 1 thought it would be a
good thing to do, but see what came of it.
I have followed the best advice, but am
only blamed and censured on all sides, do
what may"

The speaker recounted in an able manner
several things which would tend to degenerate
rather than uplift the nation. The sermon
was an excellent one, and although he told
the audience. that anyone could retire if suf-
fering from the heat, yet not one stirred, all

Harvard Oarsmen UndfsmaYed.

BOSTON, July 3.-Almost the first thing
the members of the Harvard Varsity crew
did after losing the race on the Thames was
to elect captain for next season. Harry
Reyes is again the man, and he may well be
proud of the distinction, for it is an unprece-
dented thing for the eight to be eaptained by
a student no longer in the academic depart
ment of the university. Captain Reyes will
attend the Buzzey Institute next season, and
SO will still be Harvard student in regular
standing. He and Billy Brooks are the only
two men in the crew who graduate this year.
Brooks is to go to the Medical school. Both
men are bound to sit in the winning boat in
a race with Yale once more before they quit
rowing. They both say they will remain in
some department of the university and row
until they beat Yale, if they have to keep at
it until they are gray-headed.
